We corrected our Genre Crossword and definitions assignment. Each Genre was categorized into either Fiction or Nonfiction as a review. Each student was assigned a genre to write a 2-5 sentence simple passage that would give away the genre without using the definition.
For example: This would represent Romance...
Timmy stared at me with his big brown eyes. I knew that instant that we were meant to be together. How can I tell him how I feel? Would he feel the same about me?
Quiz on Genres is scheduled for Friday!

Notes on the Scientific Method/Inquiry Chapter 1.2
*NEW: Science Prefix Friday...each Friday I will assign a list of up to 20 prefixes. I provide a meaning for each but ask the students to find and define three words (science terms please) that utilize that prefix. They have a quiz on the prefix meanings the following Friday. This week starts with the A's...
This should emphasize and improve recognition and understanding of science terms.
